Best Vegan Restaurants in Bowen Island

"A post shared by With the Locals📍 (@withthelocals) on Apr 10, 2017 at 7:41am PDT. They’re cooking using the best of the season at Vancouver’s elegant The Acorn, so their menu is always evolving with the calendar. Their dishes are all vegetarian as a base, with most adaptable to suit vegan diners."

"The Acorn is a vegetarian restaurant that offers an extra variety of gluten-free vegetarian meals. Focusing on fresh local ingredients means the menus are seasonal. The decor of the restaurant reflects the modern and elegant character of the dishes served."

"For vegetarian and vegan foodies looking for a new brunch spot, Heirloom offers an entirely meat-free menu. Occupying an airy, modern space with an abundance of natural light, the restaurant’s healthy ambiance reflects the menu’s commitment to locally sourced and organic fruit and vegetables. Vegetarian brunch menus feature a range of vegetarian interpretations of the staple eggs Benedict, including mushroom, avocado and beet based versions of the classic."

"Only bad experience s the busser on the weekend did not wear a mask. All the other servers had a mask but he did not."

"Location: 583 Main Street, Vancouver (Chinatown)Category: Pizza / VeganDescription: Handcrafted pizza that is made entirely in-house with artisanal nut-based cheeses with innovative toppings and names (Stranger Wings, anyone?). Cap it off with some delicous plant-based ice cream for dessert!. There’s also a location up at UBC.Website: www.virtuouspie.com"

"The healthiest option on this list, Virtuous Pie offers 100% plant-based pizza for those looking to improve their diet or help the earth a little bit. The 10-inch individual pizzas range from classic Margherita to curry pizza to chorizo and artichoke. They have multiple locations but we’re most inclined to go to the one on Main Street."

"On any given night, this plant-based pizza parlour is busy slinging pizza after pizza. Virtuous Pie is a first for Vancouver because they use exclusive nut cheeses on their pizzas. When paired with quality ingredients and their three-day dough, you've got a winning recipe."

"A post shared by Hanna McLean (@hannamclean_) on Oct 23, 2016 at 2:19pm PDT. Considered a staple for vegetarian and vegan eats in Vancouver for, well, what seems like forever, eating at Kitsilano’s The Naam is pretty much a rite of passage. Their calling card dish is their Sesame Fries with an add-on of Miso Gravy, but you’ll also find an array of noodles, bowls, veggie burgers, Mexican-inspired fare, salads, appetizers, and much more here."

"The sesame fries are nothing too special, but the real icon here is the pairing of it with the miso gravy. The miso gravy is so addicting The Naam has even started selling bottles of it for retail at supermarkets."

"This Kitsilano staple has pretty much been open 24/7 forever. And if you’re into vegan or vegetarian food you definitely need to stop by. Not to mention, their back patio is open for dining so be sure to stop by."

"A post shared by Glory Juice Co. (@gloryjuiceco) on Nov 22, 2018 at 9:46am PST. Glory Juice is a staple in the city. With multiple locations, this is their first in North Vancouver, and you’ll find it stocked with (obviously) cold-pressed juices, as well as a full menu of nutritious food."

"The sister restaurant to Acorn, which has won awards for its vegetarian and vegan fine dining, Arbor has neatly swooped in to cover another side of the market: vegetable-focused comfort food. Pretty much every item on the menu can be made gluten-free if it isn’t already, and there’s plenty for vegans to feast upon too. Check out the hidden patio garden at the back or drop by for a battered, Southern-fried artichoke sandwich with eggplant “bacon” for take-out."

"The younger, and more casual, sibling of The Acorn is more than deserving of a visit in its own right. Everything on the menu can be made vegan, and they’ve got some delicious burgers on the menu that will go toe to toe with any other spot in the city. We also need to recommend the Caesar Wrap, which uses crispy fried artichoke to splendid effect."

"The team behind The Acorn opened their more casual concept, The Arbor, on Main Street in 2016. The restaurant focuses on meatless comfort food, from flatbreads and broccoli popcorn to fried oyster mushrooms. Address: 3941 Main Street, VancouverInstagram:@arborvancouver"

"Moltaqa Restaurant offers a romantic, Moroccan escape in Gastown with a menu of healthy and flavourful Moroccan fare. The ambiance takes you to Marrakesh with beautiful mosaic tiles, overhanging lanterns and vibrant artwork. The focus of Moltaqa is healthy, flavourful, halal Moroccan cuisine with aromatic spices."

"Vegan Cave is a plant-based and earth-friendly pizza joint, part of the same restaurant group as Caveman Café. I’ve been dining at Caveman Café since they opened in Chinatown several years ago (their Monster Burrito is such a good deal). They started with one location serving mostly keto and paleo food, and expanded to open Vegan Cave which focuses on pizza."

"A post shared by vegan_cave (@vegan_cave) on Feb 23, 2019 at 3:37pm PST. This Abbott Street cafe has a make-your-own vegan pizza option along with signature varieties on its menu. There’s also plant-based bowls, burritos, soups, salads, and dessert up for order here.Address: 415 Abbott Street, Vancouver"

"Grouse Mountain is about 15-minutes after crossing Lions Gate Bridge. Head to the top of Grouse Mountain by cable car and you’ll be transformed into a snowy world of outdoor skating, snowshoeing, skiing and snowboarding. In summer, you’ll still find lots of snow, but it’s truly a hiker’s dream with a heap of trails, the Grouse Grind, and mountaintop trails of varying intensity that’ll suit most hikers."

"The Lion’s Gate Bridge is Vancouver’s most iconic bridge, and the best views of it are from Stanley Park. See it from the Prospect Point Lookout or walk a little bit down Stanley Park Drive to see it straight on like in the photo above!. Fun fact: the Guinness family (yes, the Irish brewing company) built the bridge in 1938!"

"The institution is well known amongst the student community and anyone looking for hearty meal at a very low price. Bon’s Off Broadway is most well known for its all day breakfast for one $2.95. If you’ve already had breakfast a burger will only set you back $3.50 and there are plenty of other great deals at this old school diner."

"Perhaps the most beloved all-day breakfast spot on the list. Bon’s Off Broadway is a no-fuss breakfast spot that serves essential egg dishes and bottomless coffee. It’s also one of the few places in Vancouver where you can eat for under $5.00 per person!"

"Definitely the cheapest diner on this list, Bon’s is a greasy spoon like none other in the city. Grab a classic breakfast (they’re $2.95), or explore one of the dozen other menu items if you’re feeling adventurous. We never are, though."

"Located on the gritty end of Granville Street, the Twisted Fork Bistro is easy to overlook when strolling between bars, but you'll see a line-up here for brunch that will give it away. Inspired by French bistros, the bijou space has wooden accents and booths that give it a romantic vibe. The menu is brunch only."

"A post shared by Twisted Fork Vancouver (@twistedforkbistro). Enjoy brunch between 8 am to 3 pm at the Twisted Fork Bistro. They offer tons of your favourite egg classics like eggs benny, French toast, and scrambled eggs."

"A cozy, bustling brunch joint serving incredible homemade-style dishes and fresh-baked bread. Expect a line-up (displayed on their website so you can check the wait time)."

"This North Van spot is best known for their awesome lunch buffet. $12 gets you a selection of AYCE Indian food with unlimited naan bread, listing it as a top contender in both cheap eats, and AYCE prices. Address: 116 15th Street E, North VancouverPhone: 604-986-7555"

"A post shared by CAFÉ ÇA VA (@cafecavawestvan) on Jun 30, 2017 at 8:29pm PDT. You are going to swoon over Cafe Ca Va’s white marble tables, deep royal blue chairs, and gold crystal chandeliers. The modern French menu is packed with bold rich flavours and a rotating dessert menu."
